From Graeme Black:

Colonel Howard Jones died on Tuesday, 12 November 2013, aged 91 years. His funeral will be held at St Johns Church, Johnsonville, Wellington NZ on Friday 15 November 2013 at 1400 hours.

I have noticed in your site about guns around NZ that you state that this Krupp in Wanganui is a nine pounder and was buried by the Boers before being presented to the 4th Contingent NZMR by Kitchener.

The AK Regt Assn will be holding a Armistice Day Service at our Cairns memorial on the cricket field opp the Cricket Grandstand at the Ak Museum.

There have been 53 new members register through our website during the year, which means that we now stand at about . . . Click to read the report
